Food

Food pervades Penang. All kinds of cuisine from the Southeast Asian region like Indian and Mingnan, are available, with the traditional tasty food figuratively taking visitors to every corner of Southeast Asia.

Culture and Art

Penang is also full of arts. Many famous movies have been shot in the state, especially in its capital George Town. For example, the 1940's Hong Kong in Lust Caution, the Castle of Anna and The King, and the tea garden in Operation Mekong have been created or filmed here. Then there are the old wild drawings and bridges that accompany visitors when they stroll around.

Sea

As a coastal state, the sunlight on the beach and sea view should not be missed. On Baduddingi Beach, visitors can not only experience entertainment like paragliding, Banana Boat, and surfing but also enjoy the beautiful sunset at dusk.
